Joining servers causes servers to restart/crash
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

Every time I join a 3rd person experimental server it reverts me back to the main menu and the server crashes/restarts. I have tested and reproduced this multiple times. I have tried verifying the integrity of the game cache, deleting dayz.cfg and dayz profile files, deleting the game and reinstalling also doesn't work.

(Game Version: 0.60.133385)

Event Timeline

Hi. Same thing happens to me but on 1st person servers: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T117353
I think there is some problem with our character in the database

Hi,

Would either of you be able to do a recording of this happening? For example, joining the server, getting booted to the main menu, going back to the server browser and then the particular server is no longer present in the list?

Regards,
JStewart

I believe a video has already been created by TheD3luxed:

However the exact happens to me but on all 3rd person servers and without the 95 sec timer.

Yep, 95sec timer only happens to me after changing the server (even if i only crashed it)
PS. Yes, i know the purpose of that timer :)

Very nice! Thank you. We'll perform an investigation on that issue, but in the meantime, would it be possible for you to send a link to your Steam account please? Then we'll also check and see if it is due to character data or something of the sorts.

I have another friend who was having this issue every time he would join our server. This only started happening after the last couple mini updates for the experimental.

Here is the link to my steam profile: http://steamcommunity.com/id/BillSyntax

Thanks

And I'll add my Steam profile as well in case you need it: http://steamcommunity.com/id/tre87

Also, that youtube video linked above is the exact same thing that occurs to me.

Thanks for sending in your ID links! It does seem like the bug is connected to your character data. We've reproduced and filed the bug internally, so it is now scheduled for a fix.

@JStewart Thanks for the update, appreciate the help!

I tried killing your character via the database. Try and see if you can log on now with a new character.

@JStewart
Can you kill my character as well? :)

There we go. Let me know if it didn't work.
